So, is it in question that he solicited a Pardon?

Who cares? There’s nothing illegal about seeking a pardon, just more fodder for the easily confused.

Why did he?

Seems like you’re confused here, buddy boy.

Are you deaf?

The only person confused here is the guy who keeps asking questions that have already been answered:

Word of advice - Patriotic Americans believe in the presumption of innocence for ALL of their fellow citizens.

Un-American fascists believe in the presumption of innocence for themselves and the presumption of guilt for their political and ideological opponents.

For All to Remember . . .

• #1 - Avoid cases of unprovoked rudeness to others. No place for it here. Yes, with the dynamic nature of the threads and topics, tempers will flare and things will become heated from time to time. You may often encounter individuals who become passionate or emotional when expressing one's opinion or point of view. That's all understood and perfectly acceptable within reason…….but, start slamming or bashing another member and be met with consequences..
• #4 - Blatant insults or hostility toward another member will be met with staff intervention. This applies to using our coed forums for name calling, personal attacks, or vulgar slang terms to describe fellow members. If you have legitimate concerns about another member here, share them tactfully in the appropriate private forums or with staff.

... As I have mentioned - he didn't ask for the pardon.
The pardon was "asked of him"....

A fellow contacted the Gaetz family and mentioned
the he could "secure a pardon" for some money.

Matt Gaetz's father then contacted the Police
about this and they caught the fellow.

... You'll notice the FBI is NOT charging
Matt Gaetz with any crimes. ... They don't
believe they can rely on the truthfulness
of any so-called witnesses against him.

... So THAT is surely THAT.
Let's move onto the next crisis, shall we? ...

Nothing illegal seeking a pardon, true.
You have to have done something illegal before being eligible for one.

Rep. Gaetz sought Trump pardon, former White House aide testifies to Jan 6 committee
Annie Grayer
By Annie Grayer, CNN

(CNN)An aide to former President Donald Trump testified to the House Select Committee investigating January 6 that GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida sought a preemptive presidential pardon relating to a Justice Department investigation examining whether Gaetz violated federal sex trafficking laws, a source familiar with the aide's testimony tells CNN.

John McEntee, who served as director of the White House Presidential Personnel Office in the Trump Administration, told the committee that Gaetz spoke with him about his process for seeking a pardon relating to the DOJ's investigation in a short meeting. McEntee told the committee he could not remember if his brief meeting with Gaetz was before or after the attack on the Capitol.
Gaetz has not been charged with any crimes, and the investigation is ongoing. An associate of Gaetz, former Florida tax collector Joel Greenberg, pleaded guilty to federal charges including a count of sex trafficking of a child, after striking a plea deal with federal prosecutors for a reduced criminal case after agreeing to give "substantial assistance" to the sprawling investigation. The assistance included an agreement to testify at trials or in federal grand juries if needed and to turn over all documents that could help the federal inquiry.

I question all of them. Something you don't have the heart to do.

In other words, you trust nobody.
